Hi everyone, and thank you for taking time to read this.
Over the last couple years, since January 25, 2024, I have not been able to work, due to medical reasons. One huge setback is that my previous doctor had apparently misdiagnosed me, and her treatment was only making my situation worse.
I finally got a more accurate diagnosis, and we've switched up my treatment to some success. However, the result was that I've emptied out my savings. My previous doctor's diagnosis ended up denying me for long term disability, and my current physician is a Nurse Practitioner, who cannot get me long term. The tl;dr, my previous doctor really hurt my ability to get aid.
I struggle with PTSD, and have struggled with it for about 35 years, getting worse each year. Along with that, I've had other issues, like depression, agoraphobia, and the real killer, panic/anxiety disorder, which takes me out of reality basically, and is just torture.
With this, I've still tried to maintain a normal life, but it finally caught up with me.
I'm hoping to be back on my feet by the end of the year. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.
Thanks again for reading!
